I have seen so much dedicated to the "modding the Trends" thread (having posted on it and now receive prompts) that I cannot understand why more of you have not modded the Kensington S2000 i-pod dock.
Check out the "is this the cheapest T-Amp in U.K" or something similar and get along to you nearest Richer Sounds. I have 4 modded S.I's a Trends 10.1 and a Teac Tripath amp. My amp of choice is the modded Kensington (and yes I left the tiny inductors as standard !)

Do you mean the SX2000 with the intergrated NX panel speaker? Have you got any pictures of the pcb? Which tripath chip does it use sounds very interesting.
Audio1st. I see you have wound your own inductors. I replaced the inductors with some between 8uh and 10uh. It didn't like them and gave me a load of distortion. What values are your's ?
Not so much as what value..... as what material😉
Those are toroids and probably of a ferrite that is more suitable than the stock bobbins I would imagine.... ?
Possibly a Fair-Rite blend.......😉

These are the toroids I used. I will try removing some of the wire. I have used some in a modded Sonic Impact and it sounds brilliant.

Audio1st. It would be of help if you were to describe the mods you have done to yours. and where the power now comes in at and the inputs. It looks like you have a trimmer (is this on the input side ?)
A view of the underside of the board would be helpful.

Audio1st. Many thanks for your reply. It has occurred to me that as the input goes in at the same place, is it simply a matter of reducing the overall size of the pcb, or does chopping it in half result in better sound quality ?
I assume that the picture you produced for me shows the Auricaps for illustration purposes only, and that the SCR caps on the previous picture are one on top and one underneath the board ?
It also appears that there may be a connection where C37 & C38 (next to the end of the SCR cap) were removed ?
Sorry so many questions, but finally.. i assume that the C54 & C55 100uf are not needed as these have been removed.
